At the BARN DANCE the
Caller will introduce, explain and run through the movements
of the Dances keeping things simple so everyone can join in
and have FUN.

This gives you the opportunity to get your guests
Dancing WITH A PARTNER in a way that is COMPLETELY DIFFERENT, changing
Partners, mixing and mingling and generally enjoying
themselves, rather than using the traditional Disco or
Band BUT is just as effective and probably a lot more
FUN!

At the LINE DANCE
the Caller will introduce, explain and run through the
movements of the Dances keeping things simple so everyone can
have FUN, but unlike Barn Dancing you will dance ON YOUR OWN
in a Line.

If you do need some Disco Music as AS WELL---dont
worry we can often provide this as a separate unit or
sometimes combine the two together.

THINKING OF

HOLDING A BARN
DANCE OR LINE DANCE OR COUNTRY AND WESTERN PARTY

Holding a BARN DANCE is one of the best ways of solving your
entertainment problem if you have to cater for
people of varying ages and abilities.
The ONLY form of Entertainment that can get
IMMEDIATE AND INSTANT audience involvement and FUN
without any previous dancing experience, skill or
rhythm is a BARN DANCE.

A big advantage of
a Barn Dance is that you get the ULTIMATE SOCIAL
MIXING EXPERIENCE---simple and easy Dances are
generally used to encourage beginners and those
who have not been to a Barn Dance before.

A Barn Dance is
absolutely ideal for people who have little or no
Dancing skills because most of the movements are
natural to all of us---like linking your arm with
someone else or holding hands to form a
circle, you see these things happening every
day--- for example in a School playground.

Generally the
Dances and movements used at a Barn Dance are
hundreds of years old and have been passed down
through generations, CONTINUING TO BE POPULAR
because they are easy to use, simple and fun.

Dancing is in
couples and in sets ranging from 2 couples to 10
couples or more---in Circles, Squares or
Longways---numbers dont really matter as long as
there are enough people to fill up your Dancing
space.

Each Barn Dance
last around 10 to 15 minutes including a walk
through by the Barn Dance Caller to learn the
steps and changes---the Barn Dance Event can be
run for 3 or 4 hours with breaks between Dances of
around 10 minutes.

The breaks between
Dances allow you to get your breath back and
socialise with friends whilst listening to
background music which keep the toes tapping away
whilst looking forward to the next Dance.

To ensure your
guests at the Barn Dance know what to do your Barn
Dance Caller for the evening is your MC, Teacher
and Instructor, using his knowledge and experience
to decide which Dances best suit the audience as
regards speed and complexity, CALLING out
changes in movements as they occur during each
Barn Dance.

When the Dancers
progress under the Instructions of the Barn Dance
Caller during the evening to more complicated
Dances never worry about remembering the movements
and changes---it is the job of the Barn Dance
Caller to remind everyone what to do--when to do
it and who do it with! This is why he will
often politely refuse offers of large amounts of
alcohol! If he cant remember what to do---you have
no chance!

The Music at a
Social Barn Dance event will be a mixture of
mainly traditional tunes drawn from England,
Scotland, Ireland and America and also sometimes
popular Second World War tunes from the 1940s all
of which give an excellent atmosphere for not only
Dancing but also Singing.

The Music at a
Barn Dance to accompany the Dancing is played
either through a Sound System using recorded Music
or if your budget allows a Live Band is used.

A Barn Dance can
be held in most locations as mentioned above,
Clothing can be casual and for an authentic
evening Straw or Cowboy Hats and colourful Check
Shirts always brighten up the Barn Dance as well
as providing an excellent reason for presenting
PRIZES to the best dressed Lady/Gent OR Boy/Girl
at the Barn Dance, in addition to a PRIZE for the
Best Dancers.

Barn Dance
footwear should be comfortable to allow for
twisting and turning and dancing on less than
perfect surfaces.

Holding a LINE
DANCE is ALSO one of the best ways of solving your
entertainment problem if you have to cater for
people of varying ages and abilities, ESPECIALLY
IF THERE ARE NOT A LOT OF PARTNERS READILY
AVAILABLE because you normally DANCE ON YOUR
OWN without a Partner.

Dancing is in
Lines, The Line Dance Caller gives
instructions on how to do the various movements,
Grapevine, Heel Strut and many other recognised
steps.

They act in the same way as the Barn Dance
Caller being your MC, Teacher and Instructor,
using knowledge and experience to decide which
Dances best suit the audience as regards speed and
complexity, CALLING out changes in movements
as they occur during each Line Dance.

When the Dancers
progress under the Instructions of the Line Dance
Caller during the evening to more complicated
Dances never worry about remembering the movements
and changes---it is the job of the Line Dance
Caller to remind everyone what to do and when to do
it. This is why he will
often politely refuse offers of large amounts of
alcohol! If he cant remember what to do---you have
no chance!

The Music used
is normally Country and Western for an authentic
WESTERN effect, but other well known
Popular Music is sometimes used also.

The Music at a
Line Dance to accompany the Dancing is normally
played through a Sound System using recorded
Music.

Clothing varies,
you can wear anything although for an authentic
evening get out the Check Shirts, Cowboy Hats and
Jeans.

Line Dance
footwear should be comfortable to allow for
twisting and turning and dancing on less than
perfect surfaces, Boots are popular, Trainers are
not recommended.
